Default Head unit advice

I'm toyin with the idea of installing a flip up DVD player in place of my stock head unit. Has anyone used one on a street glide? I'm wondering if the way the head unit is recessed into the inner fairing will it interfere with the screens travel path?

Check out GlacierPearl's thread at the top, even a moron can have a nice stereo. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/audio...ce-stereo.html

He has a flip up head unit, as well as some good advice.

im about to install a Pioneer AVH-P5900DVD in mine and found that if you do a flip up cover wont work so you have to use one of these http://www.biketronics.com/products/BT-Splashcover.html. just find the one you need. it just pulls off and pushes on squeeze fit no velcro or sticky stuff needed.

I went through2 sound stream vir 8300s...

They are big 8.5 inch screens compared to 7 inch on the rest of the single din but they kinda sucked and rain killed 2 of mine.

Taking mine out and going back to a Sony to retain my thumb switches!!!

I know kenwood makes a better unit...did anyone have any issues w it being finicky? Vibration and closing due to bvirbrations?
Was your screen hard to read NAV while riding?

Hope this help
